Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1017 PM EDT Sun Sep 22 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Disorganized showers and thunderstorms located over
the NW Caribbean and parts of Central America are associated with
broad low pressure. Environmental conditions appear conducive for
development, and a tropical depression or tropical storm is
likely to form during the next few days while the system moves
north across the NW Caribbean and into the SE Gulf of Mexico.
Later this week, the low is forecast to move generally north
across the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Regardless of development,
winds and seas will significantly increase across the eastern Gulf
this week. There is a medium chance of tropical formation within
the next 48 hours and a high chance over the next 7 days.
